From: Rob Schneider on 12 Mar 2010 02:57 Project, to my knowledge, will not automatically delete tasks.Crash might be by Project, or maybe something else on your computer. Hard to really know what happened when crashes involved. Could be your file is corrupted and since a crash involved, perhaps the crash contributed to that. To deal with a corrupted file, see http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm#Handling_project_file_corruption_and/or_bloat Far as I know, Project will not make backups automatically. In Menu: Tools/Options, Tab: Save you can set Auto Save options. We have two automatic backups. Over the years, I've lost too many files and made too many mistakes that were solved by going back to previous versions. Hence we prefer backup strategy that involve lots of older versions and lots of automation (so we don't get opportunity to forget). : we tend to store files on Apple Mac file systems and use Apple's Time Machine backup to an external drive. Surely an equivalent software on Windows but we haven't bothered to look. : we work on the files locally, but automatically sync the files from the PC up into SharePoint. SharePoint holds a long history of the files. Which means we can easily go back to the version we had "last Tuesday" and start again from there. This is particularly valuable during the start-up of project modelling. If you don't have above-then every so often (once a day is often about right), zip all the project files into an archive. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 12/03/10 05:59, Amey wrote: > Dear sir, > This happened twice that my MSP file crashed.Many activities got > automatically deleted.There are no macros at present.How to creat a back a > file.

From: Trevor Rabey on 12 Mar 2010 05:55 Something like this is occasionally seen if you are editing a file which resides on a network drive. If the network connection is interupted even momentarily, you may lose tasks. Check your network hardware. Edit a copy on your local HDD, then put it back on the network drive. -- Trevor Rabey 0407213955 61 8 92727485 PERFECT PROJECT PLANNING www.perfectproject.com.au "Amey" <Amey(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:365F0A70-BB5F-4305-8B02-1D45C8D57795(a)microsoft.com... > Dear sir, > This happened twice that my MSP file crashed.Many activities got > automatically deleted.There are no macros at present.How to creat a back a > file.
